Petros Kyprianou’s Bulldogs are back atop the chart. (GEORGIA SPORTS COMMUNICATIONS)Allow us to yet again cue a broken record: 2018 continues to be a wild-wild world in the NCAA women’s predictions department. Let’s star by recapping the year’s top 5s in the crystal-ball department, with the previous charts having been done on April 03, 18 & 24 and May 02 & 17:
Chart 1 Chart 2 Chart 3 Chart 4 Chart 5
And now… Georgia, USC, Oregon, Kentucky, Stanford
The pre-Regionals scores (Chart 5) had teams 1 and 2 scoring 53 points and 51 points. So does this latest iteration, but with the Bulldogs and Trojans having swapped scores. So Petros Kyprianou is now the coach with the whip hand, albeit a cat with fewer tails than 8.
If the meet goes as predicted here (and you know likely that is!), when we get to the climactic 4×4 the top scores will be Georgia 53, USC 46, Oregon 39, meaning that only the Trojans could pass the Bulldogs, who don’t have a team in the baton event. Caryl Smith Gilbert’s squad is currently projected for 4th, which would leave them 2 points shy. So they would need to finish 1st or 2nd to win the overall.
There are no fewer than 8 new event-leader changes over Chart #5: Elinor Purrier (New Hampshire) over Jessica Hull (Oregon) in the 1500; Karissa Schweizer (Missouri) over Erin Finn (Michigan) in the 10K; Oregon over USC in the 4×4; Loretta Blaut (Cincinnati) over Tatiana Gusen (Georgia) in the HJ, Keturah Orji (Georgia) over Taliyah Brooks (Arkansas) in the LJ; Shadae Lawrence (Kansas State) over Tarasue Barnett (Grand Canyon) in the discus); Brooke Andersen (Northern Arizona) over Maggie Ewen (Arizona) in the hammer.
